RFC Error issue

Hi
I am a junior BW-IP Consultant. We have recently installed our own server as well as Netweaver.
I am building a small planning solution to upskill myself and have came across an issue when trying to create planning functions on the aggregation level in the Modeler (Integrated Planning).
RFCCreate: An exception occurred that was not caught., error key: RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE.
Can anyone please advise me on how to solve this issue. I don't seem to find any help documentation or helpfull discussions.
Regards
M

Hello ,
The error could be a customizing error or a bug depending on your BW support package level. Can you please refer to the following SAP notes to see if you can use the information provided in the notes to resolve the problem:

Hi Shaik,
Check did u followed this procedure :
     RFC CONNECTIONS
     First log on to SAP R/3 server connections Go to SCC4 in R/3 & in Scc4 BW server. A screen opens in that logical name of the system would be opened in both (R/3 & BW).
     Take notepad in it save .R/3 & BW logical names go to R/3 & click SM59 to create R/3 connections click then a screen opens gives BW logical name in RFC Destination option & give connection. type 3 & give some description & then press enter.
     You will get another screen under it then at target host gives BW server name we will get it from BW logon change ID, IP address option & give the system no. The system no go to logon pad just drag it then you will see the name.
     Then click on log on securities go to log on give BW server details like No, client user Password. Then save it then click test connection tab if there are errors then it gives yellow color if they are no error the whole thing come as white.
     Then click on the Remote Logon then we go to BW server give RFC SM59 & click create. Then give the server name which is at the bottom right corner give it then give the no, name, password in logon Security save it & test connection & then remote logon.
     R/3  B W  R/3
     Logical connection source system connection is used to transfer the data from R/3 to BW. Go to BW system& click RSA1 go to source system option go to top to the source systems right click on it. Then click create then a screens opens then.
     PC Flat file , DB  Database
     Select the option manual then a screen appears RFC Destination, Logical source name then click OK then it goes to opens other screen save it test connection then remote login then it go back to the then a screen opens then click only activate.
     BW  RS1  SOURCE SYSTEM  CREATE MANUAL AUTOMATIC CELL
     R/3  Test connections login  back  replicate method  active data R/3 Source system you will able to.
     Firstly go to R/3 Server give LBWE 7 click then a screen opens work on SD scales click on maintenance structure.
     Then a screen opens & click continue then another screen opens in that the left side extract structure right side is communication structure.
     Select a table & drag to the other side. It comes & add in the bottom of the list of the extract & click continue then a screen opens click yes then it gives errors in the system.
     Then go to the maintenance structure & make inactive by licking active. In real time if the new system it would be inactive in sand box. Then a new screen opens & give request Id then click continue go to maintenance & opens the table then click RSA3.
     Then go extract checker then give data source. Then click extraction then click continue then go to LBWG to delete the data. Then new screens opens then give the application then click execute.
     Then a screen opens click continue then it gives in the bottom set up table empty. Go to RSA3 & check it then go to LBWE then go to sales click on maintenance drag a fields from communication to extract structure.
     Then click continue then it wont gie errors then a screen opens give the screen extract structure generated then go to maintenance & find the fields.
     Now the data source in that the file name which is side by to maintance then screen opens then click ok then a new screen opens of data source. In that selection, hide field, Inversion & field only.
     SELECTION: By selecting the option. In BW at Info Package data Selection/ External data
     Selection option is used to have a range of specific values to be extracted in your BW system. In real time we use selection option a lot.
     HIDE ONLY: by selection Hide only. Then C password can hide only then we cant see the password hide field is used to hide the header.
     INVERSION: Multiply the data with the ve value.
     FIELD ONLY; you want to have calculation based on particular field only. We rarely go with this options.
     Then save it & come back to the main screen LO Data extraction to active just click on inactive then a new screen opens then click continue. Then it is activate.
     Then go to Job Control in SD sales then a new screen opens click start date then a new screen opens click Immediate & save it. Then go to Direct delta double click on it then a screen opens click option direct delta ok.
     SBIW Enter it & click itt then a new screen opens then select the option. Setting to application specific data  Logistics then managing extract structure then initialization then filling in the set up table then application then specific set up of statistics data then SD sales option.
     Then a screen opens in control of the set up run then give name of the run  termination date automatically in  termination time  execute it.
     Then a screen opens click continue then a screen opens. Then RSA3 then a screen opens give the data source name then you can find the no of records.
     Come back to BW serer come to source system there you can see the server id name. Then another screen opens there through find symbol find the technical name find the table name.
     If is not found then go to materials right click then a pop up screen opens new replica(dump it to R/3 system) -> in addition to that Communication structure and Extract structure will be added
Then at the file + could be seen. 3 types of version
1)active2)modify 3) Delivery
     On the dat source the file could be seen a right click on it. Then apop up screen opens & select the option Replica data source after this. Take the file right click on it. Then a pop up screen opens then select the option Assign Info Source.
     Then a screen opens then select the option content & click Continue.
     Non SAP systems are known as Legacy System.
     The place which is hard to extract is business content

RFC error when trying to add transport request in queue in STMS..

Hi,
When I try to add a Transport request in queue in STMS transaction. I get RFC error saying some problem with tp program.
But when I go and check the RFC connection through STMS in system overview -> Communication -> RFC setting, it says RFC connection Ok.
What may be the issue ? I really need some light on this..
Regards,
Rajesh.

Hi Rajesh,
At times when u try to add the TR to a queue there would be 2 reasons.
1. If u have imported a TR into a system say QTY and it needs to be re imported, then we delete it fromthe STMS queue and add it again to re import it.
2. If u have some transport from external sap system to be imported here we place the data and Co files in the trans directory and then add the TR to this queue.
A TP failure happens if the data and co files does not exist in the TP directory or else, the TR target system is incorrectly mentioned.
Hope it helps.

RFC error text: timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV'

I am having this error pop up very frequently on some new SAP systems. This will randomly happen and keep us from being able to release transports and import them in STMS. I receive the following error:
There was an attempt to start the transport control program tp using the local RFC interface.
An error occurred here.
Error code: 4
RFC error text: timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV'
- When I check the Transport Tool (STMS: import queue> check> transport tool) I get the following information:
timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV' : cmRc=20 thRc=456#Time
out during connection setup (check that partner exists
- When checking the TP System Log I receive the same error. The RSTPTEST report does not give any additional information. SM21 shows a warning and an error:
Warning:
Communication Error, CPIC return code 020, SAP Return code 456
Dialog Process No. 000
Problem cl: SAP web AS problem
Package: STSK
Further Details:
Module Name: thxxhead
Line: 7488
Error Text: 020456
Caller: ThRecei
Error:
Problem cl: transaction problem
Package: STTO
All of these errors are only pointing to a time out. I cannot figure out why this is happening. I checked the TMS RFC connection in SM59 and they are fine. I have been able to work around this issue in 2 different ways. First, I can delete the files in the "\trans\tmp" directory on the server. Sometimes this resolves the error. Else I have to restart the system.
I need to understand where this issue is coming from and how to resolve it. It is becoming more and more frequent. Thank you for your help!

Hi,
i have had similar issues during this week. After looking for a solution everywhere i found out that i didn't set up the FQDN on this system.
Symptoms were:
se38 > RSTPTEST timed out sometimes(not always)
sm59 > TCP/IP connections > CALLTP_WindowsNT > test connections timed out sometimes (again, not always)
STMS Overview > Systems: I was not always able to distribute and activate configuration from the Domain controller via Extras > Distribute and Activate Configuration (it died on the mentioned system)
Transports failed mostly with the same error.
The error log was somewhere deep in ST11. It could not resolve our FQDN.
The solution, for me, was to add our FQDN to the WINDIR\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file.
We upgraded the kernel as well (from 7.20 patch 046 to most current) but this didn't help.
The FQDN is a concatenation of computer name and dns suffix of the network (if you have none, you can add one via rightclick on the used network adapter>ipv4>properties>Advanced>DNS tab, so in the end the host file looked like
127.0.0.1 localhost computer-name.ourSuffix.com
After this line has been added, the error stopped and the transports work again.
I hope it helps. Good luck.

Inbound Queues stuck with RFC errors

Hi Experts,
Greetings for the Day !
We have BDOC related issue and we need your expert help ASAP in resolving the same.
We ahev a few BDOCS lying in intermediate state in transaction SMW01, which we found using BDOC monitoring on daily basis. When we check the same in SMQR - inbound queue, we found that the queues are stuck with an RFC error message.
We are re-activate these queues to actually resolve the intermediate bdocs. But, my query is
1> The raeson for getting these BDOCS in intermediate state & stuck queues
2> A permanent resolution for the same.
Please help and let us know if you need more details.
Regards,
Kanika

Hi Kanika,
RFC error can be due to a bad connection as well. If the server is down, there might be a problem in communication with the connected system and the queues will not be processed further. You need to reactivate or unlock to get the queues processed.
But if there are any specific errors for which the queues are stuck do state the same, so that we can look into an actual resolution.

Venkat

"An RFC error occurred in the TMS communications layer.

Hi all,
We are running SAP ECC 6 in SUSE Linux. I am trying to configutre the STMS by keeping my Developement server as a domain controller. But when i login to my Production server and try to add the server in TMS its throwing an error message.
"An RFC error occurred in the TMS communications layer.
Target system: DOM_CTL.(000)
Function: TMS_CFG_CREATE_A2D_REQUEST
RFC message:Error opening an RFC connection.
System response
The function terminates."
Procedure
Correct the error and execute the command again.
Any help would be greatly appreciable
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi,
When I have had problem's like this before I have deleted the complete TMS configuration, then made sure the TMS RFC connections are deleted then re-installed the TMS as if it was a fresh install, this usually fixed these communication issues.
I did however have a problem with the TMS configuration if the Password Parameters indicating there must be a digit is configured. I removed this parameter configured TMS then set this parameter again.

STMS: RFC error: Error when opening an RFC connection

Hello ,
I was wondering if you could help me with this TMS issue.
The transport system is not working properly.
The fallowing error is shown:
Could not start transport control program tp
RFC error: Error when opening an RFC connection
There was an attempt to start the transport control program tp using the local RFC interface. An error occurred here.
Error code: 3
RFC error text: Error when opening an RFC connection
Meaning of the error codes:
03 RFC system failure
04 RFC communication failure
System Response
The function terminates. Details about the error can be found in the trace file of the Gateway Monitor (SMGW).
Procedure
Contact your system administrator or use report RSTPTEST to localize the error. You can then execute the command again.
When I test the tp tools:
tp Call and RFC Ping: Error when opening an RFC connection
Another thing would be that when testing the RFC connection CALLTP_Linux I have the error:
ERROR: user XXX is not authorized to start TP /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS53/exe
And I have to say that the user has maximum authorizations.
I also checked the permissions of the tp at OS level but everything seems to be ok.
Can you help me with this?
BR,
Manoliv

Dear Manoliv,
Firstly please check if you have enough space in /usr/sap/trans file system.
If OK, please run RSTPTEST report from SE38 and check the log file in SMGW => Goto => Trace => Gateways => Display file
and paste the log here.
Also, I assume filesystem permissions are OK.

Sujit.

Transact RFC error

Hi Gurus,
I am getting one issue while loading the data thru infopackage.
While loading the data in 3.5 flow for some souce system it is taking long time
and givig me transact RFC error. I have checked the source system connectivity and it is fine.Although the status is yellow during the load but at the end of the load it turns to red and it gives me below mentioned error:
Missing data packages for No selection information arrived from the source s
Diagnosis
Data packets are missing from No selection information arrived from the source s. BI processing does not return any errors. The data transport from the source system to BI was probably incorrect.
Procedure
Check the tRFC overview in the source system.
You access this log using the wizard or following the menu path "Environment -> Transact. RFC -> Source System".
Error handling:
If the tRFC is incorrect, resolve the errors listed there.
Check that the source system is connected properly to BI. In particular, check the remote user authorizations in BI.
Kindly let me know your suggestion in this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Amit

Hi
This error would normally occur, if at the time of processing, the data packets get stuck
To check for stuck trfc follow the path
Environment -> Transact. RFC -> Source System
there, check if trfc recorded, then it means, it is stuck, slecect that particular record and press F6 to execute the LUW.
If this is not the case, check the job overview in the source system.
IF you find ARFCSTATE = loading/sysfail, it means the trfc is stuck ..
you can check the datapacket number from there, and try mannual update for those partiular data packets.
Or else, sometimes, the packet itself doesnt arrive in BW, because of connection problem during the processing of few packets, ands later when you check, it seems fine.
In such cases simply repeat the load
Hope this helps

UI Attributes - RFC error when displaying PCR with Adobe forms

Hello All,
I am receiving an UI Attributes/RFC error when I display a PCR that was created wth Life Cycle Designer. I copied it from a delivered SAP form. I am using the QISR1 Badi to process the form. I have three other forms that are working correctly.
If anyone can provide some direction into resolving this, it would be greatly appreciated.

RFC error text: Error when opening an RFC connection

Hello!
I have recently an error in Tcode STMS.
The following error comes up:

Moreovert is not possible to open import gueue.
The error is: the import queue cannot be read.
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

First, could you please do the following check:
1) Call SM59, check RFC destinations: AI_RUNTIME_JCOSERVER and
    AI_DIRECTORY_JCOSERVER, what is the Program ID under Registered
   Server Program section?
2) Call J2EE visual admin, choose cluster -> server -> JCO RFC provider
   there should be AI_RUNTIME_<SID> and AI_DIRECTORY_<SID> under
   available RFC destination tab. Please make sure their names are the
   same as the program ID registered in AI_RUNTIME_JCOSERVER and
   AI_DIRECTORY_JCOSERVER respectively.
3) Also make sure the gateway host and service are the same in both
   RFC configurations.
Can you perform an R/3 trace for this issue aswell - to trace the
RFC connection issue? It maybe that there is an error like
"timeout during allocate of registered program" which is likely with
this type of message in SXMB_MONI. (SAP Note No. 84850)
1) set gw/reg_timeout to a higher value
2) check/change current Queue and Mapping Configuration/Setup
     the parallel number of XI outbound queues (XBTO* queues) is
     set in XI configuration (SXMB_ADM); setting EO_OUTBOUND_PARALLEL
     to e.g. 20 allows 20 messages to be mapped in parallel;
     this queue number multiplies by the number of different
     configured receivers
     #receivers * EO_OUTBOUND_PARALLEL should correspond to the number
     of parallel configured mapping threads (J2EE Visual Admin,
     service JCo Rfc Provider, Destination AI_RUNTIME_*, #processes)
     if ( #used-outbound-queues > #jco-mapping-threads ) then this
     can cause the above seen timeout error
     => consequence check/change parameter EO_OUTBOUND_PARALLEL or
        JCo mapping threads (processes)
Finally, if you are perhaps running on AIX, then check note 716927
Otherwise tell which OS do you run on

Rfc error received

Hi Experts,
I would like to ask the root cause of the issue we are facing right in BW system? The error description we are getting is "RFC ERROR RECEIVED". I need your assistance in solving this issue.
You soonest response is highly appreciated.

Hi Lebron James
You error does not provide more details. Therefore, it is very hard to dig into it. But as other members suggested you can trouble shoot in SM59
I usually check the RFC connection from SMSY and check that all the RFC Trusted, BACK, Read, TW (somthing for changereques)
Aalways check the system users that get created during the RFC creation does exists. Which you can easily view and test in SM59
Or if you are trying to create the RFC, make sure you have enough authorization to create RFC and you also exists in Remote system as well to create RFC connection. I would say when trying to creat rfc go with SolMan_admin user and make sure same user exists in remote system or compare your user profile with solman_admin
or if you just want to resolve, best suggestion is to clean up in SMSY instead of deleting them in SM59 ( you can check at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_NW70EHP1/helpdata/en/6f/7fed65ffa94a76966cd2ca6fbafeb6/frameset.htm )

RFC Error Received while opening queries from BEx Analiser

Hi Friends,
We have recently upgraded BW 3.5 to BI 7.0 and installed SAP GUI 710.
When we try to open queries using old 3.5 BEx Analyser, we are getting error ' RFC Error Received '.
strange thing is, it is not happening with all the users. For some users it is working fine and for some users they are getting this error only on first instance when they login after upgrade and this error is not comming from second time onwards with out implementing any corrective actions. Some users are still getiing this error even on second time when they login after upgrade.
We are prety much confident that the authorisation is not an issue here. Not sure about the GUI.
Pls help me to understand the possible resons for this error and how we can fix it.
Thanks,
Nanvakanth

Morning Experts,
I have the same problem while opening the Query Designer or the WebApplicationDesigner in 3.5 or 7.0 it doesn`t matter....
If I open a query with BEX and go to customize mode of the query --> the querydesigner will be open correctly --> very strange!
Could anybody have a solution for this issue?
Kind regards
